Suspend data collection or alerts for nodes in Maintenance Mode

During maintenance, nodes might be Down for short periods of time. To prevent alert messages, and to ensure that your Orion Platform product collects the data you need, place the nodes to Maintenance Mode.

You need Administrator and Node Management rights.

Choose one of the following maintenance options:

Mute alerts: data for the node, interfaces, and volumes on the node are collected, but alerts do not trigger.

Muting alerts is not supported for SRM and VMAN objects.

Stop collecting data for the node: data for the node, interfaces, and volumes on the node are not collected, and alerts do not trigger.

If you stop polling data for a node, polling is also stopped for all interfaces and volumes on the node.

Schedule a maintenance period: specify a period of time to stop collecting data or to mute alerts for a node.

Orion Platform 2017.3 and later provide access to the maintenance options from the Manage Entities view: select nodes, click More, and select a maintenance option.

Click the mute icon to unmute alerts or to cancel suspended alerts.

Mute alerts

Mute alerts for a node to perform maintenance on the node without interruptions by false positive alerts.

Click Settings > Manage Nodes.

Select the nodes and click Maintenance Mode > Mute Alerts.

You do not receive alerts until you resume alerts for the nodes.

Resume alerts

After maintenance, resume alerts for the node, interfaces, and volumes on the node.
